In the project, instead of coming up with new
findings and data, I will make use of some of theIIIT and other publishers books, journals andpapers on the area that I will be researching on.
Also, given only five weeks to complete theproject, it will be more feasible to take thisapproach of researching and citing existingresources to find answers to the researchquestion. The paper will start with defining someof the popular terms in Fiqh and Islamic Law.Then, the key ideas in fiqh, Islamic law and its
sources will be elaborated.

WhatisQuranandSunnah?
Approaching
the
Quran
and
Sunnah.
If one takes a verse from the Quran or any particular hadith,without going back to the other hadith or to the Prophets
practice and without relating it to the maqasid, one is likelyto misunderstand and misinterpret the Shariah This is whyalImam al Shatibi in his book The Treatise insisted that to
understand the Shariah one has to comprehend and knowits end goals (al maqasid). This only happens when one isknowledgeable about the verses of the Quran and thehadith; why, how and when they were revealed, the reason
behind the revelation, which hadith are eternal and whichwere temporaletc. Yusuf AlQaradawi.
